Sage Hill Life | Aging with Confidence

Studies show that positive psychology can alleviate depressive symptoms
and increase overall well-being, particularly in older adults. Including
mindfulness, brain fitness activities and spiritual opportunities, these
programs shift the focus to positive life experiences, and help seniors cope
with the challenges that aging presents.

From aromatherapy and digital signage to soothing music, each community is intentionally designed to engage all the senses and promote vitality and engagement. We offer interactive technology that enriches residents’ lives, connecting residents with each other and their families. Dining is a multi-sensory experience, sculpted to engage with life, create new friends and enjoy healthy food. And residents are kept up to date with events, menus and activities through the community’s dedicated TV channel.

Advanced design and technology is woven into all aspects of the community, including innovative senior living spaces, electronic life safety programs, electrostatic sprayers for disinfection, and individual washers and dryers. A digital healthcare monitoring system collects health behavior data while providing communication with key staff.

Our communities offer diverse and delicious menus that incorporate a variety of foods that affect brain health, which may lower the risk of memory decline. We focus on whole foods, including leafy greens, vegetables, nuts, berries, whole grains, fish, poultry and extra virgin olive oil.

Physical vitality improves health, self-esteem and socialization. A wide array of physical activities are available, including fitness equipment specially designed for older adults; muscle strengthening and aerobic exercise; yoga, dance and stretching; walking and running programs; balance improvement to reduce fall risk; and physical therapy as needed to recover from an injury.

The body repairs itself during sleep. Essential to rejuvenation of cellular tissue and minimizing decline, seven to nine hours of sleep is part of a healthy lifestyle. Sleep issues can interfere with an older adult’s daily activities and reduce their quality of life, which is why sleep improvement can make such a significant difference in health and well-being. Sleep improvement is achieved using our healthcare monitoring system.

An Electronic Medication Administration Record (eMar) helps facilitate the distributing, tracking and ordering of medications safely and efficiently. In partnership with local pharmacies and our onsite licensed nurse and med tech, the eMar software ensures the delivery of the right medication, at the right dose, and at the right time.

Dehydration is the leading cause of hospitalization in seniors. So hydration is a critical component of our overall wellness program. Residents have 24-hour access to water at stations throughout each community and are served a glass of water at every meal.
